Andrew Inks
Agile Coach & Operations Consultant
About
I am passionate about creating healthcare experiences that are compassionate, empowering, and sustainable.
My experience building complex-care and palliative care programs has given me a deep understanding of the challenges facing underserved communities and aging populations.
My expertise in Agile Product Management has equipped me with a toolkit to efficiently define problems, innovate to create sustainable solutions, and make data-driven decisions to improve the health of an organization’s bottom line while also improving the health outcomes of the people they serve.
As a servant leader, I believe that sharing our talents with others is not only a responsibility but also a source of lasting fulfillment and personal growth.

Vison
My vision is to create a world where everyone can access high-quality healthcare, easily navigate the healthcare system, and make informed and appropriate decisions based on their unique goals and needs, to enhance their overall quality of life.My approach is rooted in the Jesuit principle of Cura Personalis, a Latin phrase that means 'care of the whole person.'
I place a high value on my own continuous learning and development, which sustains my continued success.
By collaborating with healthcare providers, executives, and stakeholders, I help health systems achieve their population health goals.
Together, we are transforming healthcare by creating and delivering member experiences that prioritize every individual.
Outside of Work...
Over the past seven years, I have designed and managed the construction of two lake houses at Canadohta Lake and the restoration of three blighted properties.
